What is the process of tRNA 'reading' mRNA to produce an amino acid chain (protein)?

Back

Translation

Front

In RNA, which base replaces Thymine found in DNA?

Back

Uracil

Front

What is the term for the copying of mRNA from DNA?

Back

Transcription

Front

In RNA, which base does Adenine pair with?

Back

Uracil

Front

Why is tRNA referred to as Transfer RNA?

Back

Because it is responsible for transferring the right amino acid to the ribosome to create the protein.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins by linking amino acids together.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA to mRNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which affects its structure and function.
